Plot: The pigs and the birds happen to be in frequent battles against one another after the reconstruction of Piggy Island. A snowball from a neighboring island, known as the Eagle Island strikes the water body near Piggy Island, compelling the pigs and birds to join hands and fight back together. The Eagle Island’s leader, Zeta happens to be frustrated with her icy surrounding and plans on occupying both the islands by throwing snowballs in an attempt to compel the inhabitants to leave the place.  

Review: The Angry Birds Movie 2 opens with a quite slow start; however, the movie takes flight sooner enough. It abides by the first release’s footsteps, building up the enmity between the birds and pigs. However, the new and interesting thing in the second part is the uniting of the birds and pigs for saving their island from the ice-ball attacks by an unknown island.

While the first release was quite simple, the second edition has come with all the bells and whistles, including a cute love story and a typical “United We Stand” message. Furthermore, the key characters, such as the Mighty Eagle, Zeta, and Red come with sharper layers of emotions and humor. In addition to all this, the breakdance war between the pig-bird army and the eagles amplifies the excitement. It can be said that the improved screenplay and story of the second sequel suggests a very strong probability for a much better third edition.

Thurop Van Orman, a cartoonist and voice actor, has made his debut into direction with The Angry Birds Movie 2. It can be said that Thurop has already shown his potential in his first film itself. The voice actors of the movie have also done a quite wonderful job.

Overall, the slapstick humor, amazing visual gags, and a great sub-plot involving three cute hatchlings make The Angry Birds Movie 2 a much-recommended watch for kids as well as adults.
